It is said that the EHF can be transmitted by more than just bodily fluids. That the disease can travel on dust molecules and it will only take 1-10 of this molecules to infect a person. Why is this being left out of all threading reports!? If there is a freaking epidemic going on in the world. Shouldn’t we know (fully) how it is transmitted?
